ADVENTURE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

This Fall I will be attending an adventure photography workshop from Summit Workshops. I mentioned this in a previous post, and since then Summit has launched a new site with a handful of quick classes available for purchase. I’ve bought two of the classes so far and wanted to review my take on the content and share a couple of thoughts here.

BRAD SMITH OF SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

Always looking to better understand the business of photography, I purchased a class from Brad Smith entitled “Inside an Editor’s Mind.” The class is only a handful of video clips and it provides some useful information about editors. It’s pretty specific to the world of sports, which is understandable being that Brad is the Director of Photography at Sports Illustrated. Unfortunately, I was hoping to gain a broader perspective on photo editors, as well as valuable insight on how to become a better resource to them. Maybe I just have an expectation that there must be something I’m missing or some mystery surrounding working with editors. Either way, it’s a good class for the $29.99.

Next time, product photography with Tim Kemple.
